Week of 9/19/2011

9/19/11
4 miles in 41:52/Split 10:26
West Loch Shoreline Park. Had zero energy and my back was aching in the beginning. Mostly hot & sunny for the first 2 miles. Had some clouds and shade, on A'awa Dr. for the last 2 miles :) The route came out to 4.5 miles though I didn't make it that far.


9/23/11
6 miles in 1:03:34/Split 10:35
Pearl City Bike Path (Waipahu Depot Rd). Felt okay but downed a 5-Hour Energy just in case. Ran at 4pm so the sun wasn't a factor. I felt so good, at 2 miles, that I ran another mile before turning around. Today was my slower paced, long run (1.5 miles longer than intended).


9/25/11
4 miles in 40:34/Split 10:07
Kalihi St Loop. Nice, cool morning run. Still felt sleepy...no energy (wish I had a cup of coffee beforehand). Ran a different loop and had to stop & walk a couple of times on Numana & Valley View (150-ft climb). The run ended with a small incline for the last .6 miles (no problem).

Week of 9/12/2011

9/13/11
3 miles in 30:41/Split 10:12
West Loch Shoreline Park. Ran at West Loch Shoreline Park which is another favorite of mine. I wanted to go 4 miles but the sun killed me. I wasn't even winded but this star, at the center of our solar system, took away my "will to run"!


9/14/11
3.5 miles in 36:30/Split 10:21
West Loch Shoreline Park. Tried 4 miles again with a different route...south down bike path/go right at dirt road/go right at A'Awa Dr/go right at Fort Weaver Rd/go right at Laulaunui St/go left at Kapapapuhi St. Then, like Icarus, I came too close to the sun, melted my running wings, fell to the earth and died!

4 miles in 40:30/Split 10:07
Pearl City Bike Path (Waipahu Depot Rd). Ran at 4pm which is 3 hours later than usual. The sun wasn't too bad and there were even some shady spots. The asphalt didn't feel like hot lava which my feet appreciated.

Week of 9/5/2011

9/5/11
4 miles in 40:39/Split 10:10
Ala Moana Beach Park. My shins felt a little sore at the beginning (could be the 5 mile run on Fri & hiking on Sat?). It was cloudy most of the run and the first 2 miles were effortless :) Tomorrow will be an off day to give my legs some more rest.


9/8/11
4 miles in 40:52/Split 10:10
Ala Moana Beach Park. Tried to run around the soccer fields but I felt dead with no energy (stopped before a half-mile). Easy 4 mile run at my favorite running spot...Ala Moana Beach Park & Magic Island. There are always plenty of other runners to help inspire me :)
